2018 Wedding Photography Highlights

I cant quite believe we are here again, the beginning of a brand new year, hello 2019!

Okay, so I’m a few days late with my 2018 wedding photography highlights because we started the year with no internet connection in our house! So as well as being late to the game with my 2018 roundup, I’ve not been able to watch the new episode of Luther or find out what all the hype is over Birdbox and Bandersnatch on Netflix! It’s been torture!

2018 completely whizzed by. They do say ‘time flies when you’re having fun’ and that is very true of this year!

2018 has been my busiest year to date in terms of wedding photography and it has been such a great pleasure to look back over the last 12 months and put together this blog post. It is a selection of images from weddings throughout 2018, including lots of my favourite moments, although by no means all! There’s a real mix of all the things I love about shooting weddings; behind the scenes moments, real laughter, dancing, and the connections between family and friends.

I’m so excited for what 2019 has in store for me and my little business. If you are currently on the hunt for a wedding photographer in Manchester, the North West (or anywhere for that matter!) please do drop me a message here. I do still have dates available for 2019 and 2020 is booking up fast!

I would like to say a huge thank you to Roberta and Bronte for shooting with me this year and to all the amazing venues, vendors, planners, designers, florists and videographers who make my job so fun to do.

As ever, the biggest THANK YOU goes to all the amazing couples who have given me the opportunity to capture their memories for them, it has been an absolute pleasure! Lots of love and all the best for the future and here’s to a very happy 2019!

If you like what you see in this blog post and would like to enquire about my availability for your wedding date please drop me a message here!

Laura & Gareth – Rivington Maternity Shoot

I first met Laura last year while photographing her best friends wedding in Bolton. When she contacted me a couple of months later to do a maternity shoot I couldn’t be more thrilled!

We headed slightly out of Bolton for Laura and Gareth’s bump shoot to Rivington, a lovely little village and civil parish, just next to Chorley in Lancashire.  It was a pretty miserable day (weather-wise) and both Laura and Gareth did an ace job of pretending they weren’t absolutely freezing for the whole hour we were shooting!

Below are a few of my favourite shots from the shoot. Laura looked absolutely radiant and Gareth is going to be one very doting Dad!

Hannah & Paul – Bolton School Wedding

Hannah and Paul had a lovely traditional wedding at Christ Church in Ainsworth, Bolton. Hannah Stunned everybody as she entered the church in the most beautiful wedding dress and it was a pleasure to caputure the look on Pauls face as she made her way down the aisle surrounded by so many family and friends. The ceremony was filled with both laughter and emotion brought in part by chief bridesmaid’s lovely reading to her little sister, which can be read here.

The reception was held at Bolton School, one of the oldest schools in Lancashire, and was a perfect choice of venue for Harry Potter fan Hannah. With its castle-like exterior, old stone corridors and staircases we could have believed we were at Hogwarts as we shot some beautiful photos around the school.

An absolutely gorgeous day filled with laughter and lots of dancing! Here are some of my favorites from the day…
